46 Best Greek Restaurants near Bethesda

“this place is a gem! I'm greek and used to own a small farm to fork restaurant .... I know good quality food and this place is IT!! this is NOT your run of the mill fake greek food , it is in fact small batch, authentic, made from scratch food that tastes great. thank you Mastiha Taverna team, you're doing a great job ✨️🧿🩵“

“Their signature thing The Gyro is spot on copious gyro meat balanced well with tomatoes, onions and tzatki. The side Greek Salad was tasty but heavy on the greens and a real Greek salad is cucumbers, tomatoes, feta, green peppers. I ordered way too much as the Gyro is a lot. Enjoy! Opa!!
PS Dolmades are cooked fresh when you order and are hot which was me to me, but also spot on. A really good side if you like Dolmades.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Don't let the fact that it's just takeout fool you, the food is absolutely amazing. I had the philly steak calzone and it was delicious, perfectly made, and well-filled. The service was also fantastic; the staff was super friendly and efficient. Highly recommend!“

“One of the best meals I have had in Tyson’s Corner! Way above average!“

“I ordered catering from Big Greek Cafe for my son’s baptism. The food was amazing, and my family and friends could not stop complimenting the spread. Petros and his staff were such a pleasure to work with. Fresh food and quality customer service!“

“Would recommend for a glass of wine and appetizer! Stopped in for dinner and the food was tasty but felt overpriced for the portions. The shrimp dish was good but shrimp were slightly overcooked and felt like a very expensive starter. The hummus was delish! Wine was great and cocktail was less than amazing.“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“I have been going to this restaurant for the last 10 years. While the food continues to be great, the vibe has changed through the years. What once felt like a cozy neighborhood place with excellent personalized service now feels like a franchise establishment.“

“We had an amazing dining experience during dinner on a Monday. The whole lavraki was perfectly cooked, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully seasoned. The chicken kabob was tender and juicy, with just the right balance of spices, and the Athenian chicken was absolutely delicious, full of rich, savory flavor. The service was excellent, very attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly taken care of. Great food, great quality, and outstanding service. Highly recommend!“

“My daughter and I went here for a weekday lunch. We started with the halloumi appetizer, which we both enjoyed. She then had s cup of avgolemono soup and spanakopita. I had a tuna melt sandwich with fries. Everything was very tasty. Service was friendly and fast.“

“My first time here and I was impressed with how nice and friendly the lady at the counter was. She gave me potatoes to try and lamb. It was quick, and the food was amazing.
I got a small plate with 2 types of chicken, tiny bit of lamb to try, orzo, green beans. Flavor was popping, food was warm and plenty 😋 it was all in one container so it didnt look very artsy but it tasted sooo good that I ate all of it and it was def 2 or 3 serving size for someone my size. 😆 and the bread that came with was amazing, smelled and tasted fresh. Outside was crispy ish yet soft and inside very fluffy. My only one issue was that green beans was very oily. But I still ate it all.
Overall- will def go back, and may bring my friends. Def will bring family. They have so many chicken, lamb, turkey varieties for those who dont want pork or beef all the time.
It was just me and a friend so we sat in their tiny table but I will say this is take out place. Not a lot of space to sit and eat. It gets busy too, but they are extremely quick with service.“

“The Hercules Burger is really good“

“The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly.“

“Parthenon Greek Restaurant & Chevy Chase Lounge is such a charming spot! The Greek dishes are fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere feels cozy yet stylish. The staff are friendly and attentive, making it a lovely place to enjoy a casual, chic meal. Definitely a place I’d return to.“

“Food is amazing ! I just got back from Athens and this is exactly as it is back there! So good !!!“

“Su atención con los clientes“

“outstanding. Absolutely delicious. So fresh.Great value. Wonderful addition for Hagerstown. A ++++“

“good quality fresh food 🥒🍅“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“Good food,great service.Love going there.“

“Ordered Mexican chicken tacos; the food came promptly, the food tasted excellent! Shelly the server was the nicest, she spoke in a very polite manner & at the end of my meal, she asked how I liked it - my response was the food tastes excellent! The cook in the back with the apron and hair net had the lousiest of attitudes, seemed like a grouch - if you’re reading this, lighten up, life is to too short to be disgusted with everything! Thanks Shelley! •ValT“

“Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere, and service! My new favorite restaurant in DC. Food is tasty and authentic. Staff is friendly, responsive, and timely. And the restaurant is clean, nicely decorated, and spacious with plenty of seating inside and out. The Adana Lebab, Turkish tea, and Backlava are must-tries. A+++“

“I guess this is a pretty authentic Greek fast food experience. I had one of the bowls and it was very fresh and filling. Best falafel I've ever had in my life. The weird thing was that it wasn't on the menu, but the guy at the counter asked me if I wanted one. It was sooooo good and fresh.“

“This Greek restaurant in Potomac, MD is a hidden gem. The lobster spaghetti was rich and perfectly balanced, and the dessert—simple, elegant, unforgettable. The menu is carefully curated, and it shows. This is their second restaurant—the first has been around for over 30 years. They know what they’re doing. Small space, so definitely make a reservation—but bar seating is just as good (we sat there and loved it). Carlos the bartender and the whole staff were amazing. We were the only Black/brown folks there, and felt completely welcomed. Don’t miss this spot—real food, real hospitality, real experience.“

“Good food good staff. Will come Again.“

“The best Greek food I have had in a VERY long time and I am married to a Greek! We had the Gyro and chicken souvlaki sandwiches with a side Athena Greek salad and Greek potatoes. OMG!!! Those potatoes were so delicious! They know how to cook authentic food and they aren’t chintzy with the meat in their sandwiches. The only downside is the appearance inside as it is in need of a little sprucing up and some music would be nice but don’t let that deter you of trying the food. It’s so worth it!“

“The gentleman at the counter had wonderful customer service. We paid for our food even brought it to the table, which was very nice. It felt like fine dining, he gave us a bit of conversation and seem like such a pleasant gentlemen. I enjoyed the food. It was amazing. I eat every drop and the baklava ice cream with everything took a friend for the first time. My friend said he enjoyed it, and we will definitely be back again. I recommend this place highly if you love Greek food and gyros.“

“😁Great food and service“

“Delicious Greek food! Really good dips and toppings to add on bowls, best tzatziki and hummus I have had. The chicken is very tasty. Great variety of Greek desserts. Perfect location with parking and close to metro. Good food / good price. Nice and welcoming staff. 😀“

“Outstanding in dining experience. I then had Mazi prepare a platter of meatballs for a House Parry that was a major hit ! A new go to restaurant in DC“

“Best kept secret of DC. Best lamb kebab (and laffa!), best tabuleh, best kibbeh, best grape leaves, best lentil soup… Best!
May be gotta change the name, it’s a bit hard to understand what to expect .. but it is simply the best lunch each time I came… and indeed fresh, yummy & authentically Mediterranean.. thank you 🙏🏼“

“Astor, we are so glad that you have reopened! We have missed you greatly and wish you nothing but the utmost success!!

Though Arlington offers an abundance of dining options, this place stands apart, and I can confidently say that you cannot go wrong here. We have tried the lamb shank with rice, chicken shawarma, chicken brochette, falafel pita with fires and the hummus. Everything is fresh and delicious. Try it for yourself, and you will quickly understand why the reviews are so glowing. Astor, you have earned every bit of praise and more!!“

“Anthony's Restaurant is such a lovely spot! The food is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, with a comforting yet refined touch. The atmosphere feels cozy and stylish, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Definitely a place I’d return to for a casual, chic meal.“

“Highly recommend the McLean Family Special. They season the chicken amazingly and our it with fresh veggies and real mashed potatoes. The staff are very nice as well!“

“This is the kind of place that you go to as a single person trying to get a quality meal without breaking the bank- you then take take someone there for a brunch date- further down the line you make it a regular place for you two. Flash forward you now have a family and introduce the kids to and they also love it. My point is this is the kind of place you will always go to and at every point in your life it will be there for you. I went with my girlfriend and now she's my wife and we still love it. When my Grandmother had severe dementia and didnt enjoy much she still loved going here and the staff and atmosphere gave her the feeling of being somewhere familiar and welcoming. New places opening up wont be like this which is why its so important to keep supporting City Diner- lets not make this a place that we only appreciate once its gone- its a place beyond the food- its a true family restaurant that has been there through multiple generations of my family.“

“Service was fantastic. Food was wonderful and atmosphere perfect.“

“Hidden gem of a shop, literally as you have to navigate through an office building to get there. The presumably owner was wonderful and very helpful, he also emphasized his use of extra virgin olive oil for health. I don’t think the Chicken Msakhen I got was on the online menu, but so so tasty.

More of a takeout shop than a date night vibe, but it does have free WiFi! Please consider giving them your business, it’s so worth it“

“Great food. Owner and family are the nicest people.“

“Super lowkey breakfast cafe. It's really small with mainly outdoor seating but the food is tasty, quickly made, and high value. very affordable. somewhat on the greasier side but I loved it. they have a large selection from breakfast, sandwiches, salads, etc.“

“Take out order......the "Heavenly Pizza" and Minestrone Soup........Both EXCELLENT! Pizza was hot and delicious and Soup was piping hot and delicious as well! Have to have hot food when you do take out! People at restaurant friendly and everything was ready exactly when they said! I will be back! Thank you!“

“The owner is very nice he’s a local. Yes pictures of old Arlington up. The food is very good I got a steak and cheese sandwich. Very good.“

“Fantastic customer service - I worked with Edvin on a large delivery order, making multiple changes to the order and time, and then had to change the day entirely due to a rain out. He was SO patient and helpful! I will absolutely work with them again, especially for a large group order. Thank you!!“
